Okaya is also discovering innovations for a better tomorrow for everybody. Our UPS is a product that has been ingeniously built by adhering to safety norms, form factor, durability and performance. 

How does an UPS work?

A power UPS or UPS is created in such a manner that it changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).The input & output voltage along with frequency and power capacity depend on the internal mechanism of the circuit. As a standalone unit, UPS does not generate power but only stores and distributes DC. 

Choosing the most befitting UPS for you, depends on the consumption of power at your home. Once you know this, picking an UPS is a piece of cake. 

 Battery: The heart of the UPS

The battery is the most essential component of the UPS. It directly impacts the performance of the battery and the life of UPS. Therefore maintenance and care of the battery should be a top concern. Batteries don’t add aesthetic or social appeal like furniture or decorations, but it runs the show from behind the curtains. 

How to choose an inverter? 

1)      Power requirement: As you read above, daily power consumption of your home determines the type of power you need. Number of electrical appliances in your home and each of its operational cost in terms of voltage must be ascertained. Example 1 tube light cost 60 watts to operate, or a TV takes 120 watts. 

Another thing to note is the VA rating of the UPS. Calculating the power factor is necessary and easily doable. Power factor is simply ratio of amount of power needed by an appliance to the amount of energy churned out by the inverter.  

2)      The type of inverter: Every inverter fundamentally converts DC to AC, however the type of AC that an inverter generates determines its character.

3)      Durability of the battery: As you read in the start, battery is the heart of the UPS. It is the quality of the battery that determines its longevity. Also, the capacity will determine the backup hours that you get during outage.

So next time you shop for a UPS Battery, make sure to consider these tips.

Power-cuts and voltage fluctuations are quite common in India. In rural and suburban areas, a power-cut can last for upto 8 hours. This makes it difficult for people to manage their daily chores. Therefore installing a power backup system is crucial.

The inverter-battery system is one of the most common and efficient power backup systems used in India. People can go to the market and buy an inverter and a battery of their choice. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. Any inverter is only as efficient and reliable as its battery. Therefore, choosing the right battery is much more important than one might think.
With so many brands available in the market, how does one choose the right one? How does one find a battery of superior quality? How does one find a battery with the maximum performance? The answer to all these questions is – Okaya Inverter Batteries.

Why Okaya Inverter Batteries?

•    Longer life – Okaya batteries are made with the best quality material which ensures twice the service life as compared to  conventional batteries.

•    Extensive application – Okaya Inverter Batteries are manufactured keeping in mind various applications requiring a reliable and extended power backup.

•    Quicker recharging – Okaya batteries ensure quick recharging even during frequent power outages due to their advanced grid pasting compound.

•    Heat resistant – High temperature reduces the efficiency and service life of the battery. Okaya batteries are designed to offer higher resistance to temperature variation which maintains a lower temperature coefficient.

•    Reduced frequency of battery refilling – To reduce the spillage every time you refill batteries as well to reduce the frequency of refilling, Okaya batteries come with larger containers that can store 30% more electrolyte.

•    No corrosion – In order to protect batteries from anodic corrosion, the spines of Okaya batteries are made with low antimony lead alloy with selenium. These spines are made using high-pressure HADI casting process.

•    No shorting of negative and positive plates – To prevent the shorting of negative plates with the positive ones, the negative plates are fully covered with Daramic USA polyethylene separators.

•    99.994% pure lead – To ensure a long battery life, Okaya imports the best quality primary lead with 99.994% purity from Australia.

•    High cyclic application – Okaya Inverter Batteries are made keeping in mind the power supply conditions of India. Therefore, Okaya batteries are suitable for frequent and long power outages.
